You can’t make everyone like you.

If you encounter someone you don’t like, don’t try to please them; they aren't anything to you.

Take things lightly, and you'll have fewer worries. Don’t always care about how others see you; otherwise, life will be exhausting.

True friends are the antidote to life's problems. In the adult world, it’s not about how many friends you have, but about who makes you feel at ease.

Some people’s presence is like warm, bright sunshine, while others arrive like dark clouds—heavy and tiring. Life is short; spend it with people you feel comfortable with. Through each other’s companionship and influence, you will slowly become a better version of yourself.

Don’t get angry over unworthy people—eat well. Don’t lose sleep over unworthy things—sleep well. Live every minute for yourself.

Forget trivial matters if you can; stay away from ungrateful people if you can.

Emotions are precious; surround yourself with those who bring you joy. Time is precious; spend it with those who understand you. Your heart is precious, so fill it with the most beautiful things.
